T0 ALL WHOM IT MAY VCONCIilR-IT:

Be it known that I, SAMUEL B. GUEnNsnr, of the city of Chicago, in thecounty of Cook, and State of Illinois, have invented a new and usefulImprovement i inl Portable Washstards'; and I do hereby make known 4 anddeclare that the following is a full, olea-r, andQexact description of'the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and theletters and'fignres marked thereonwhich.forin part of this speeication.

My said invention consists in attaching permanently an ornamentalorlsuitable water tank or reservoir to a portable washstand, saidreservoir being divided into two cop'artments, to A,contain both coldand hot water, suitable provisions being made in connection with thelatter, by means of a recess beneath and a. suitable 'lamp orportableheating device, to heat the water in the said copartment of thereservoirnhen desired. My invention further consists in permanentlyfixing the wash bowl or basin in the stand, and in connecting theeseapespipe from said basin with a waste-water can or receptacle beneathin such a manner as to form a continuous passage into the said can,while the latter is readily detachable when needed to remove the wastewater therefrom.

To enable those skilled in the art to understand how to construct anduse my invention, I'n'ill proceed to describe the same with parteularitymaking reference in so doing to the aforesaid drawnga'in which- Figure lrepresents a front elevation of my invention.

Similar letters of reference in the different figures denote thesame'parts of my invention.

A represents the main part of the washstand, provided with doors, asshown, into the upper part or top of which set the wash bowl, marked H,as shown, which is intended to be permanently attached thereto. Upon therear part of the stand is permanently placed the reservoir, B, forwater, being divided into two copartments, C D, the former for coldwater, and the latter being constructed with a recess, E, beneath it,into which `a sliitable heater or lamp, F, may be placed to heat thewater therein. G represents stop-cocks, through vwhich the water isdrawn from the reservoir into `the basin. Irepresents awaste-wat'erpipe, leading from the basin down a short distance within the tube J,attached to the cover, K, of the waste-water can, L, thus forming acontinuous pipe from the basin to said can. When it is desired toVremove the said can, L, from thewashstand, the cover is raised, the tubeJ, attached thereto, sliding up on the pipe I until the pin a enters theslot b, when, by a half or partial turn of said cover and tube, J, it isretained by said catch, a b, and `the cover being then free from thecan, the latter can eadily be removed as desired. When the can isreplaced, the cover may bereadjusted upon the same by the leerse of theopera-tion above described. N represents suitable racks or supports tohold brushes, combs, and other toilet articles. 1

Having described the construction and operation of my invention, Ivrillproceed to specify particularly what I claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patient.
